Which core competency for interprofessional practice can be described as working with individuals of other professions to maintain a climate of mutual respect and shared values? a. Interprofessional teamwork and team-based care b. Values and ethics for interprofessional practice c. Interprofessional communication d. Roles and responsibilities for collaborative practice ANS: b Values and ethics for interprofessional practice mean working with individuals of other professions to maintain a climate of mutual respect and shared values. Roles and responsibilities for collaborative practice include using knowledge of one's own role and the roles of other professions to appropriately assess and address the health care needs of the patients and populations served. Interprofessional communication includes communicating with patients, families, communities, and other health professionals in a responsive and responsible manner that supports a team approach to maintaining health and treatment of disease. Interprofessional teamwork and team-based care means applying relationship-building values and principles of team dynamics to perform effectively in different team roles to plan and deliver patient population-centered care that is safe, timely, efficient, effective, and equitable.

Which nursing intervention continues to be one of the most error-prone for critical care nurses? a. Inappropriate care b. Intimidating and disruptive clinician behavior c. Injury to patients by falls d. Medication administration ANS: d Medication administration continues to be one of the most error-prone nursing interventions for critical care nurses. Intimidating and disruptive clinician behaviors can lead to errors and preventable adverse patient outcomes. Patient safety has been described as an ethical imperative and one that is inherent in health care professionals' actions and interpersonal processes; examples include inappropriate care and injury to patients by falls.

A practitioner and nurse are performing a dressing change on an unresponsive patient in room 14. The practitioner asks the nurse for an update on the patient in room 13. Which action should the nurse take next? a. Give the update to the practitioner. b. Refuse to give the update because of Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requirements. c. Give the update because the patient is unconscious. d. Refuse to give the update because of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements. ANS: b Most specific to critical care clinicians is the privacy and confidentiality related to protection of health care data. This has implications when interacting with family members and others and the often very close work environments, tight working spaces, and emergency situations. A patient's unconscious state is not a reason for another patient's care to be discussed in his or her presence. Research shows hearing is the last sense to deteriorate. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has to do with safety in the workplace, not privacy and confidentiality.

Which units can provide high-quality and cost-effective care for patients who are less complex, more stable, and have a decreased need for physiologic monitoring? a. Intensive care units b. Triage units c. Progressive care units d. Medical surgical units ANS: c A growing trend in acute care settings is the designation of progressive care units, considered to be part of the continuum of critical care. These units can serve as a bridge between intensive care units and medical-surgical units, while providing high-quality and cost-effective care at the same time. Patients who are ideal candidates for progressive care are less complex, more stable, have a decreased need for physiologic monitoring, and more self-care capabilities.

What considerations are taken into account in evidence-based nursing practice? (Select all that apply.) a. Clinical expertise of the nurse b. Availability of staff and facility equipment c. Research evidence on the topic d. Patient knowledge of the disease e. Patient preference regarding care ANS: a,c,e Evidence-based nursing practice considers the best research evidence on the care topic along with clinical expertise of the nurse and patient preferences. For instance, when determining the frequency of vital sign measurement, the nurse would use available research and nursing judgment (stability, complexity, predictability, vulnerability, and resilience of the patient). Availability of staff and facility equipment and the patient's knowledge of the disease do not factor into evidence-based nursing practices.

A patient's wife has been informed by the practitioner that her spouse has permanent quadriplegia. The wife states that she does not want anyone to tell the patient about his injury. The patient asks the nurse about what has happened. The nurse has conflicting emotions about how to handle the situation. What is the nurse experiencing? a. Autonomy b. Moral distress c. Moral doubt d. Moral courage ANS: b The nurse has been placed in a situation initially causing moral distress and is struggling with determining the ethically appropriate action to take. Moral courage is the freedom to advocate for oneself, patients, and peers. Autonomy is an ethical principle. Moral doubt is not part of the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) framework The 4A's to Rise Above Moral Distress.

Assisting with only tasks that cannot be done by the patient c. Providing the patient with all of the information and facts d. Guiding the patient toward the best choices for care ANS: c Patients and families must have all the information about a certain situation to make an autonomous decision that is best for them. PTS: 1 DIF: Cognitive Level: Applying OBJ: Nursing Process Step: Implementation TOP: Ethical and Legal Issues MSC: NCLEX: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Coordinated Care 4. The principle of respect for persons incorporates which additional concepts? a. Confidentiality and privacy b. Truth and reflection c. Autonomy and justice d. Beneficence and nonmaleficence ANS: a Confidentiality of patient information and privacy in patient interactions must be protected and honored by health care providers out of respect for persons. Confidentiality is a right involving the sharing of patient information with only those involved in the patient's care. Privacy includes confidentiality but goes further to include the right to privacy of person and personal space, such as ensuring that a patient is adequately covered during a procedure. PTS: 1
